The Biosynthesis of Spinosad

Spinosad is a novel macrolide insecticide,and is highly effective against insect pests and has a weak toxicity towards environment and mammalian. The pathway of spinosad biosynthesis,and the enzymes and gene cluster involved in the biosynthesis were reviewed.With the identification and analysis of the spinosad biosynthetic genes in Saccharopolyspora spinosa we have understood the rate-limited steps and its controlling genes in the biosynthesis pathway,and can modify Saccharopolyspora spinosa to increase the production of spinosad by genetic engineering.;
